> Submit resume + cover letter

Does anybody here actually read _cover letters_? I almost never submit them, unless required. I feel it's a remnant of pre-digital age where you would apply _in-person_ and the cover letter makes it _feel_ personal.
This is a step in the right direction but still doesn't address my biggest concern with e-waste - the battery.

Because almost none of the electronics you buy come with a replaceable battery, the second you buy something and use it on a regular basis it's destined to die and be thrown out within the next 4-8ish years due to the battery degrading and becoming increasingly more dangerous to keep around. Something that might be in perfect working condition and could be used for another 10 years has to be thrown out because of one single component.

I understand that batteries come in all shapes, sizes, capacities, yada yada, but imagine if we had standard rechargeable batteries like we have standard non-rechargeable batteries and things were built in a way where you could easily replace batteries like we could on phones a decade ago. You would double or triple the lifespan of a ton of things.
The similarity is even more patently obvious given the fact that the top freestyle chess players are, unsurprisingly, the top chess players.

That is because the only rules that are updated are the position of the pieces in the back row, and castling.

It's a bit like painting with oils or acrylics.
Hell, you might even get promoted to management!
I wonder if a type of escrow service could help solve the problem of hiring managers getting flooded with low effort applications and simultaneously solve the problem of applicants being passed over when they are obviously the most qualified for someone else who looks good on paper but who is actually mediocre.

There could also be a case for some kind of ante that applicants have to contribute to when they apply. Pass the different levels of interview and you get a portion of the pot. Make it to the job acceptance and win the pot and if you accept the offer you get what the employer staked.

Maybe something like that could help solve this issue. Either way we definitely need more structure and better defined processes for both sides of the job hiring process (looking for a job as a prospective employee, and hiring to fill a position). It would be great if we could automate this in a way that is mutually beneficial to everyone involved and had more transparency in the process. Right now there is zero accountability on either side, and as TFA demonstrates, the balance of power has shifted towards the applicants recently.
Startup idea to truly solve this would be large network of onsite test / interview centers.

I had to do all my certs onsite in test centers in early 2000's. For one I had to drive 2 hours to take the exam.

Seems like those test centers used to be in every mid size city in the country.

Kingston KC3000 supposedly uses Micron 176L TLC memory [1].

The Seagate Firecuda 530 datasheet clearly says "Built with a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND". A review is more precise: "Phison PS5018-E18" & "Micron B47R 176-layer 3D TLC NAND" [2].

> Signing bonuses almost always have clawback provisions

Written on a piece of paper, yes, but no company is actually going to sue you in court to recover it. It will cost them more than the value of the bonus to do so. And they know you have already spent the money.

> I've never heard of someone getting severance from being fired for cause (performance)

At large tech companies it is standard for people going through the PIP process to get the option of taking a severance and walking away (and waiving their right to sue the company) instead of waiting for their manager and HR to draw up the paperwork to fire them.

"The proposals include encrypting data so it cannot be accessed, even if leaked, and requiring compliance checks to ensure networks meet cybersecurity rules."

I always would have thought that two of the most important favors to decrease risk of data leaks would have already been implemented - and yet it's 2024, just over half a century after DES encryption was put into use by the US government.

I think you missed this part, emphasis mine:

I spend a week or so deeply researching where I want to work and figure out how to get there role-wise.

Figuring out how to get there means figuring out how not to get ghosted, not just blasting off a quick application and crossing fingers. I imagine that probably means reaching out to people in their network at the company, learning about their hiring practices and how people get hired there, etc.
You had better build your own silicon chips and phone hardware as well in that case.
>Because I'm pretty sure America needed plenty of foreign help to split the atom

The whole point of my comment was that such truly high-skilled immigrants were able to arrive and thrive during the term of the Johnson-Reed Act. The rest of your critique on that point is ill-founded and irrelevant.

>Almost everyone has something made by Sony or Panasonic, but no one has a Zenith TV anymore.

Yes, tariffs will be needed to reshore those industries.

>The "Green Revolution"... depended entirely on the cooperation of foreign governments, investment and labor. The US absolutely did not "feed the world with our Green Revolution," just as the US did not "win World War 2."

You'd do well to read a biography of Norman Borlaug. He did a lot more than repackage Haber-Bosch. American charity during the 1960s and 70s is the only reason tens if not hundreds of millions of Indians are alive today. Whether that's ultimately in America's best interest remains to be seen.

The sweeping socialist polemics and corny "y'all" was very funny, thanks for the laugh.

Until they get dropped in the toilet.

Phones have gotten more waterproof as the batteries have gotten more permanently secured (not to mention induction charging). It's not a spurious correlation.
But I didn't object to chill music, so I'm not sure what your point is.

I specifically referred to algorithmically generated elevator music, aka "low effort music". Not chill music or music without lyrics.

My point is that people do not want garbage, but get used to it. So we shouldn't let companies producing this shit off the hook because it's "what people want". That's not the full picture, and is far too generous to businesses and advertising.

Surely you're not objecting to the notion that public tastes can be shaped to some degree?
Believe what you want. The US global strategy and practice uses NATO bases to transfer and supply its wars, house it's nukes, and intercept retaliation.
The point is that major contributions to American tech supremacy come from foreigners. Scrapping the H1B program would jeopardize us tech leadership.

How to disable automatic translation on YouTube?
My google account is set to English, but I also speak Portuguese.
Recently YouTube has been automatically translating the audio on some videos both from PT to EN and EN to PT, for no reason at all, as I have not opted for this configuration.
Is there a way to disable this? It happens both on normal videos and shorts. Pretty annoying.
Non-distracting music is not the same as garbage music, though.
I'll say this: I once had to talk with a team in Belgrade. I was honestly not looking forward to it due to language barrier and such, but I didn't know anything about Serbia.

I was pleasantly surprised that that team spoke better English than most folks in the US. Every one of them.

If that's any indication of how most of the city speaks, I don't think any English speaker would have a bit of trouble communicating.

Also imagine you are a company with a reputation for hiring people - inducing them to leave their current job - and then often dismissing them quickly afterwards.

That would give many great prospective employees pause before applying to work there, because you are asking them to give up a good thing and take a chance on your company, without commitment.

Far better to screen early.

TL;DR: by law, German power stations are required to "turn off" (taken off the energy grid) when they receive specific radio messages. This is intended for energy grid load balancing.

Unfortunately, the message protocol is completely flawed security-wise, which allows malicious actors to control the power station.

It would require only a handful of strategically placed senders to control an estimated 20 gigawatt of load Germany-wide, causing havoc on the European energy grid (brown-out, cascading effects, etc.).

The security researchers followed a responsible disclosure towards the vendor, EFR, who reacted with sending letters from their lawyers.

Today's SPIEGEL online news magazine pre-talk report ( https://archive.is/p66as ) on this topic cites EFR that the proposed attack vector is not possible.

The security researchers therefore made the last minute decision to go full disclosure with today's talk to press on the urgency of the topic.
Oh, it gets even better. US taxpayers are giving them billions for "national security" reasons.

Nothing like giving piles of cash to a grossly incompetent company (the Pentium math bug, Puma cablemodem issues, their shitty 4G cellular radios, extensive issues with gigabit and 2.5G network interfaces, and now the whole 13th/14th gen processor self-destruction mess.)
For me, it's that the ergonomics are straightforward, and everything works out of the box. If I find myself on a new machine, just installing fish gives me an ergonomic setup without having to install too many additional tools or mess with configuration.

OP wants to automate the email send but should not do that. Sending bulk automated emails is a big no-no.

There's a big reason why OP was fighting with providers to set up something to what amounts to marketing email without an unsubscribe link...because it's not something you're supposed to do.

I don't think you should automate talking to a recruiter, anyway. At most this system should just generate email body and allow OP to review and send it out manually.

> Its way too cumbersome to write entire OS in it

Not at all. See https://www.redox-os.org/

> all the example projects like AWS Firecracker end up with tons of unsafes.

That's a good thing. With rust you are explicit about unsafe.

> Basically a more expansive and possibly ML powered valgrind can easily offer the same memory safety as Rust does, without the penalty of slower development and efficiency hits

It is apparent that you have no experience from rust, and I wonder if you have used valgrind much too, as you seem unaware about the huge overhead from running your app through valgrind.

Rust's error messages are precise, while valgrind is a crapshow to work with, as you should know since you mentioned it?

> so Rust adoption is "unstable" i.e its just a nice improvement but not does not give a hard advantage in any form and way.

It's used in production in several high profile projects, some that I already mentioned. Apparently smart people do see advantages.
It's ordinary javascript. It interacts with many google services including gmail without having to actually maintain servers or setup authentication. It's perfect for small little glue tasks like sending yourself emails or anything that interacts with Sheets. You wouldn't use it if you weren't trying to use a Google service.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. A license grants the end user permission to use the software. It is not a series of obligations for how the software operates. This would be excruciatingly obvious if you read any software license.
There's no way you get to 1+1=2 without experience. There would be no one to even make that statement.
Phi-3 is five months old now. I suggest trying Phi 3.5 instead - it's effectively the same size (2.2GB from HF - Phi-3 Mini is 2.2GB as well) but should provide better results.

If you have Ollama installed for that there are plenty of other interesting models to try out too. I like the Llama 3.2 small models, or if you have a whole lot of RAM (I use 64GB on an M2 MacBook Pro) you can run Llama 3.3 70B which is genuinely GPT-4 class: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/9/llama-33-70b/
> Since when is there video that's not meant to be viewed?

Since the day they were invented? Certainly by the mid 50s there were hundreds of different relgious sects all over the world with prohibitions of some kind.

Because different people can have differing opinions… or do you somehow believe literally 100% of the human population shares that opinion?
> The real problem is if the man in a dress, and his associates, try to strongarm everyone into pretending he's a woman

Exactly, which is why he's not seen as simply "a man in a dress", but "a man in a dress who will call on a mob to force me to adopt their norms as if they are my own, contrary to my visceral instincts".

People don't like having to be FORCED to conform to someone else's ideology, we used to call this "fascism".

Replace the increasingly uselessly vague "AI" with "LLMs" and the answer becomes clearer. The algorithms take a document and generate statistically-plausible bonus text. They just aren't made to do symbolic reasoning or math.

Well that's what you're told is happening. As it's all proprietary closed source software that you can't inspect or look at or verify in any manner, you have absolutely zero evidence whether that's what's actually happening or not.

A more accurate version:

Law: You have to get some form of affirmative consent if you want to do specific often-abused things.

Companies: We'll do it in the most obnoxious way possible ("here are our 853 technology partners... no, there's not a 'deselect all' option, have fun clicking") so people blame the law instead of the industry that didn't want to allow consent at all.

Pure speculation on my part, but to play along, I suspect the models you mentioned will be a cheaper or free subscription option.

And again speculating, but given Apple's new emphasis on privacy, it might rhyme quite well to (1) make that into apple intelligence or even (2) make it fully local and, as a matter of principle, not dependent on external infrastructure.

So throw it in a gallon ziplock inside some rope and stuff and toss into a tree. In any case, a drone has about 15-30 min of loitering time while a radio-in-a-bag has potentially weeks or even months. I know which I would choose for spying on radio transmissions.
I'm not denying that there are some trade-offs, but I'm also not strictly speaking about phones here. Think electric toothbrushes, trimmers, Bluetooth speakers and the other endless amounts of electric things with rechargeable batteries that don't have the space constraints of a phone.

I just got a Crucial T700 last month which is a PCIE Gen5 x4 NVMe M.2 drive.

I put it in an ASUS PRIME Z890M-PLUS motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K

Started to install Fedora Linux version 41. The drive would just completely disappear from the OS and the kernel would report I/O errors on a missing device. Sometimes this happened during the initial install. Sometimes 5 minutes after the install when starting a terminal. I couldn't even type "ls" because the "ls" command is on the drive that went away.

Saw reports of PCIE Gen5 incompatibilities so I moved it to a Gen4 slot and then it worked.

But the machine had so many other random crashes and errors reported in system logs saying "This is a hardware error not software" and stuff like that. Returned it all.

Just got an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO

The Gen5 drive seems to be working at Gen5 speeds.

Yes, and it's wrong in all those cases as well.

The rules aren't even universal, tennis clubs, schools, and even countries have different rules altogether, which highlights the absurdity of it all.

If you're going to enforce arbitrary rules, they must at least be objectively defined. Otherwise it just becomes a power trip for whomever decides.
Given that the fixed table is a much simpler one (by letting out-of-bounds just return 2, rather than adding circuitry to make it return 0), I wonder why they didn't just do it that way in the first place?
I've actually noticed some things make me disproportionately upset.

If I hit a wall working on coding logic, I kind of get annoyed and take a short break and come back and try some more.

If I'm doing _anything_ involving databases and API calls I get actually ANGRY when something doesn't work.

My theory:
Explaining logic in syntax feels natural, since we do it talking to each other all the time.

Exchanging information in structure feels unnatural, since we don't do it in interpersonal communication. If we're talking about a subject we don't have to first define a schema and endpoints. Our brains do all that automatically.

Imagine trying to use migrations and API routes to represent the memory access, changes in data, and relation mapping our minds do when studying new subjects or learning new information about old topics.

I HATE DATABASES.
